Guilty as charged. When I'm sitting or lying down, I have our cat in my lap. We all it the condition of being "incapussitated."

Like my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Dick. Uncle Dick would never let Aunt Margaret see his driver's license, until she found it one day and did the math: when they married, she was 36 and he was 18! He was a big guy, and mature for his age, already gainfully employed. Only til death did they part.

@joplinapp.bsky.social I use my Joplin for genealogy. Notebooks are by individual names. Somehow, some individual notebooks are ending up under other individual notebooks, where they do not belong! How can I move these subordinated notebooks back to the top rank where they belong? Thanks!

Note from my notebook from 2016 which I find has only grown in pertinence in the intervening decade.

I know I buy far too many books but I like to think that lining the walls of my house with them wards off evil in some deeply important way.

Just saw a woman scientist make a definitive statement on a subject in which she is undeniably an expert, and almost immediately some random man who is not a scientist or an expert in the topic contradicted her It's exhausting to even look at this shit. Absolutely incredible.

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

Why? Because it gives the inadequate men running the show right now a h*rd-*n, that's why. Little boys playing with soldiers -- and those soldiers (and sailors) are not toys; that's the part these mentally and psychologically stunted little boys forget.

And because hypocrisy is the Republicans' default position. VOTE as if your life depended on it, because it just might!

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

My fellow old people: Do you like the $6000 tax credit ($12000 for married filing jointly) for seniors available for tax years 2025-2028? Know what that's really about? Those in power are trying to BUY YOUR VOTE!! Take the credit and run, but don't keep these fools in power!

Those involved, those who committed these heinous crimes, for crimes they are, must be held accountable in a court of law. These are some heavily depraved, soulless, disgusting creatures crawling on the Earth. Is castration too good for them? This absolutely must not be tolerated!

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

"We?" Include me out of that one. I didn't vote for the blot of vomitus that now occupies the Oval Office, and I'm getting damned tired of being lumped with those who did. I voted for Hillary and for Kamala and for Barak and for Joe . . . I contributed. I speak out. I resist. DON'T LUMP ME!
